Chapter 710: To the Cathedral
“I’m coming with you!”
“Me as well!”
Shelia who have defeated the most survivors wanted to come. And so is Graham who had been watching us from the sky.
Wait, if they suddenly met an angel in a cathedral, if they have stupid believers, they might actually believe us when we say that the cult is the bad guy. That would be interesting.
“Graham, the place where he opened the portal to was a cathedral. Can you pretend that you’re some sort of God’s apostle? It would be great if they got tricked,” I said.
“Alright. What should I say?” Graham asked.
“Something like don’t believe those quacks or something,” I suggested.
.....
“That’s easy. Though I don’t think they will blindly believe me. But if we can make them let down their guard for a moment, that would be great,” he said.
It’s good that he agreed. I thought that he would have a bit of pride like he did back when we first met and refuse it. I guess he has decided to be the cult’s enemy and willing to help me more now.
“Wait. Roy, what did you see inside the portal? It was not just the building you assumed to be the cathedral, right? Did you see the location?” Sonia asked me.
After informing me about what happened back on Earth, she has been staying nearby. So she saw what happened. That I let one summoner about to escape and alert some people who look important.
It would be even worse if they have a summoner there as well. The summoner will then open a portal somewhere else and report everything to the higher ups like the Archbishop or something.
But I don’t think that will happen. They will at best send a wind mage to give the report. Because I think that the cult’s summoners only know that they can only have one familiar at most.
If the summoner is on Earth, I don’t think they will be stupid enough to get their familiar to be far from them. Because they won’t have any protection then. Especially since they can’t trust other cult members. Unless the summoners are stupidly loyal to the cult.
Their summoner should only have two transfer point at most then. From the world they are currently at to the other world, and another is to their contracted monster. They shouldn’t have any other transfer points. Unless they have monsters that can create clones.
And I have never discover any monsters that can do that. I even read the entire monsters encyclopedia that each country in the alliance have. Each has monsters that mostly appears in their territory. But none of them has power to create clones other than slimes.
But this is Monsters World. Summoner could have some fortune to get such monsters when they tried to make their first contract. Some of them might even have slimes.
But I don’t need to care about them. After all, slimes are weak monsters. Anyone who made a contract with slimes will think that those slimes are too weak so they will kill those slimes instead. Which mean it’s not likely that they have monsters with cloning ability.
I’m the special one. Or should I say it’s Victoria. Or maybe Javier since he’s the original personality.
“Graham, you will face the enemy inside the buiding together with Victoria. She couldn’t do much on her own but she’s still useful. Shelia will look for traces of enemy who flies away or escape from that place with me who will ride Ray. If possible, we can’t let anyone alive to be a messenger to their higher ups,” I said.
Though it will only be for one day. We can only delay the report back to the cult for one day at most since tomorrow, the cult will bring supplies back to this world. They will be surprised to see that the base is destroyed in just one night.
One day is too soon. But it’s better than being known right away.
I need to get this done soon so I can bring Albert to this world and interrogate those three summoners.
“Sonia, tell Albert that I will be late,” I said.
Ray and I gave a lot of Aura to Victoria so she can fight by herself for a while, while she gave me a lot of Blobbies that I will use as my weapon or just use to mark my targets. Shelia and Graham are preparing as well with Graham already letting all his angel wings out while hiding his demon wings, and Shelia is in her strongest form.
The enemy we will face will most likely to be master level mages. so this preparation is important.
“Let’s go!”
I opened a portal, but the first to enter the portal was Graham who will make a performance.
After he enters, the rest of us entered as well. With my body being completely covered in armor riding a horse.
“This is a warning to everyone! Do not believe in these quacks! They deserve to die!” Graham shouted.
Right after Graham announced that, Shelia, Victoria, and I killed some people there. Only then I started observing the situation.
The body of the man I killed and entered the portal is still there. Seems like it hasn’t been moved or being checked. And because of this corpse, many people are trying to approach it. And now I have many targets I can kill easily. But that won’t be my job.
Shelia and I the quickly left the building. This is a cathedral indeed. Or at least it’s much bigger than any ordinary church.
The location is in some sort of village. Isn’t it too fancy to have a cathedral in this small village? Only surrounded by forest and there’s no main road at all leading to other places.
For now, let’s mark this place with several Blobbies while looking for someone who escaped from this place if there are any.
“I smell two people who recently left this place! One to the left, and another to the right!” Shelia said,
“I go to the right one! You will chase the other one! I will come to you as soon as I finished killing that one.”
I used Divine Vision to the fullest and I could barely see that someone is flying away from this place quickly. And he somehow noticed that I’m looking at him even though he was so focused on leaving. Well, he’s a master level mage it seems.
The game of chase started. But there’s no way that he could be faster than Ray. He needs to train more in his magic. Just cultivating is not enough to outrun us.
I caught up with him soon after and we started fighting. I also make sure that there’s no one nearby. Who knows if the cult has another hiding spot nearby?
It’s just a forest all around. With plantation and monsters. There’s no need for me to worry about being seen.
The enemy I’m facing is a master level wind mage. He created a typhoon to block me. But that doesn’t work.
I just broke through the typhoon and killed him. That was easy. He should have do something else instead of hiding himself inside the typhoon. But anything he do will be useless because he was facing me.
Alright, one is gone. And since he’s a master level wind mage, he should be the furthest one from the cathedral. I’ll check around the surrounding a bit before I move to Shelia’s location.
Seems like there’s no other person leaving that cathedral. I didn’t see anyone leaving. Maybe they have just started leaving when Graham and Victoria started fighting.
I need to finish it soon before anyone could leave. I have to return back to Victoria’s place.
I opened a portal to Shelia’s location to see that she’s fighting a master level fire mage who also has wind element.
And I see that she is struggling.
The man can’t outrun Shelia, but he’s still stronger than her. At least at the moment.
He’s much stronger than any average master level mage from the cult that I have fought before. He could be someone important.
“You okay?” I asked Shelia.
“Leave me alone! I will fight him by myself! You will take care of the rest!” she said.
“Alright, I will leave. But if you feel that you can’t win, tell me!”
I opened a portal back to the cathedral. To where Victoria and Graham are.
And I can see... the cult members are fighting each other.
Those who look like important figure in the cathedral is fighting mostly against priests or worshipers from the village by the look of it.
I guess those priests are those who know nothing about the cult. And they truly thought that Graham is the God’s apostle.
But those people are too weak. Many of them have died. But none of them gave up. In the end, even if they know nothing, they still loyal to what they belief. And they believe in Graham’s word when it was a lie.
And I don’t feel sorry at all.
At least it will be easier for me to defeat everyone here before helping Shelia. Let’s see who Graham is fighting.
